7:30am Reception- Crowne Plaza Hotel. room: Victory Station (A-C) Coffee, Juice & Refreshments will be available until the morning Break
8:20am Welcome and Introduction
8:35am Michael Caterino - Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History The California Beetle Project: Data Sharing and
ManagementAmong its goals, the California Beetle Project aims to provide a complete online inventory and specimen level database of California’s beetles. The SQL-serv-er based platform developed to accomplish this will be discussed and demonstrated. The database is live at http://www.sbnature.org/calbeetles
9:00am John Oswald - Texas A&M University
The Bibliography of the Neuropterida Project: Practical Lessons in the Development of a Digital Library
9:25am David Shorthouse - University of Alberta The Nearctic Spider Database: Shoestrings to Bootstraps
Curators & collectors contribute records and peer-reviewed species pages via Web 2.0- and taxonomi-cally-driven applications, thus building an organic, enthusiastic community with broad outreach and resource-sharing potential
9:50am – 10:05am Break
SATURDAY, December 9th, 2006
10:10am Derek Sikes - University of Alaska Museum The Birth of the University of Alaska Museum Entomology Collection
Description of the 6 year old Entomology collection at the University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks and an introduc-tion to a powerful specimen database system, ARCTOS, that is being jointly developed between the University of Alaska and the University of California at Berkeley.
10:30am Ed Riley - Texas A&M UniversitySpecimen Data Capture in the Texas A&M University Insect Collection: Past – Present– Future
10:50am Dmitry Dmitriev - Illinois Natural History Survey 3I: Online Virtual Taxonomic Revisions
Presentation about 3I software package designed for creation and web-publication of interactive keys, taxonomic and specimen level databases. The program and example data-bases are available from the web-site: http://ctap.inhs.uiuc.edu/dmitriev/.
11:10am Katja Seltmann - MorphBank RepresentativeNew Collaborative Tools in MorphBank (www.morphbank.net): Image Annotations, Collections, and Future Developments
An overview of the recent developments in the MorphBank project including new tools for using images in collaborative projects and the ability to ‘publish’ images in collections for linking to manuscripts, Web pages and other online publica-tions. Some of the tools presently under development will be outlined, including the ability for MorphBank users to create phylogenetic character state annotations, which will automatically populate phylogenetic character matrices based on this information.
11:30am Norm Johnson - Ohio State University Taxonomic Databases Working Group
Report on the 2006 meeting of the Taxonomic Databases Working Group held in St. Louis, MO, 15-21 Oct.: the new TDWG infrastructure, data standards and working groups, and globally unique identifiers.
11:50am – 1:00pm Lunch
1:15pm Colin Favret - Illinois Natural History SurveyCollection Profiling to Inform Funding Decisions; It’s Not Just for Collections Management Any More
A method is described to quantify and compare the health of various parts of natural history collections across an in-stitution. The products of the method will assess collection management priorities as well as give administrators a tool to make funding decisions.
1:40pm Alma Solis - USDA APHIS Permitting Board of Advisors
This board was created in June 2006 to improve communi-cation between APHIS and the user community. It is com-posed of representatives from other government agencies such as Homeland Security and public organizations such as the Entomological Society of America.
2:00pm Gail Kampmeier - Illinois Natural History Survey Getting Entomologists to the Table: Participation in & Awareness of GBIF’s Programs
Through its cooperators, GBIF (gbif.org) is working to provide “digital access to primary scientific data for policy- and decision-makers, research scientists, and the general public all around the world.” It works closely with standards groups such as TDWG (Taxonomic Databases Working Group), but there is an increasing concern that the standards that we will be expected to implement in the recording and sharing of data are being driven by the IT community with less and less input from the bench-level scientists, among them us entomologists. As curators of the largest groups of specimens, entomologists need to be at the table, aware of and contributing to these discussions.
2:20pm Bill Warner Central Life Sciences Possible role of IGRs in Museum Pest Control
With most of the potential chemical tools for pest control in entomology collections now gone or in the process of being eliminated, finding new tools that provide residual protection against specimen-damaging infestations is imperative. This talk provides an overview of the “museum market” issues from the industry point of view, and a possible role for juvenile hormone analogs in museum pest control.
2:40pm – 2:55pm Break
3:00pm Bob Anderson - Canadian Museum of NatureThe Nature Discovery Fund: Promoting Taxonomy or Selling Scientific Names?
A review of the global programs offering to name species in return for monetary contributions. Benefits, pitfalls of this strategy are discussed based on experience with Canadian Museum of Nature’s Nature Discovery Fund.
3:20pm Andrew Polaszek - International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, Richard Pyle - Bishop Museum & Doug Yanega - U. C. Riverside
Animal Names for All - ICZN, ZooBank, and the New Taxonomy

Preciouslittlesurvived the Impact of 2058.
But once a great city thrived here. And a museum. Shattered columns, fractured statues and fragmentary artifacts tell us so. Not much to go on. But what’s this? “We’ve discovered another!” we cheer. Eagerly we unseal it, confident marvelous treasures await. Securely nestled inside. Butterflies. Brilliantly beautiful. Fearfully fragile. And wholly intact. Imagine! We know little of the culture that produced this safe-guarding wonder. But we know the maker’s name. Delta Designs.If only everyone had used these ...

BioQuip Products
would like to thank our
customers and friends
for all the support and
encouragement that has
been received over the
past 60 years.
Entomology is one of the most important sciences of our time. Where
would the world be without you? The important work you do is being
done so that future generations will have the opportunity to appreciate
the true diversity of the earth’s insects, and hopefully, their natural his-
tory. BioQuip applauds your passion for the preservation of insect
collections.
We welcome the opportunity to continue serving you and the science of
entomology. If you have any product needs or ideas that BioQuip can
assist you with, please contact us. Together we can continue to support
entomology by curating the world’s insect collections, and providing the
equipment and tools needed to perform these important responsibilities.
Please visit us at the ESA convention, booth #’s 101, 103, 105.
With gratitude and apprciation,
The Staff

As most of you know, since
2004, ECN has had an elec-tronic mailing list, called ECN-L, which
allows subscribers to conveniently receive and post e-mail message to other ECN-L subscribers. E-mail list-
servs have remained popular, in the face of newer more sophisticated web-based networking tools (e.g., wiki, web forums, video conferencing, etc.) largely because of their ease of use and the widespread use of e-mail in general. If you’re worried about receiving unsolicited e-mail, ECN-L has relatively little traffic and it is very simple to unsubscribe should you wish to remove yourself from the list. A brief synopsis/review of basic operation is pre-sented below for those ECN members unfamiliar with ECN-L.
You can access ECN-L in 2 ways: (1) e-mail or (2) a web interface.
E-mail interface: To Subscribe: (a) send an e-mail message to: [email protected] (b) In the BODY of the message type only the following: SUBSCRIBE ECN-L To Unsubscribe: (a) send an e-mail message to: [email protected] (b) In the BODY of the message type only the following: SIGNOFF ECN-L To Post a message to the group:
(a) After subscribing, send your question, announcement, etc., to: [email protected]
Web interface: Direct your browser to: http://listsrv.unl.edu/archives/ecn-l.html From this website, you can follow links to: -subscribe to the list -unsubscribe to the list -search the archives of the list -post to the listserv -set a number of other options/preferences
For help or comments on the ECN-L, please contact: Andrew Smith - [email protected]
